I went there last week for a epidural and as I was walking in to the procedure there was a bin full of garbage with untied bags that were leaking fluids.... I was so grossed out by this and thought it was so unprofessional.... Not to mention you are walking in there with no shoes on and only socks that you have to step in this biohazard material... I wanted to talk to somebody in charge about this but before I could even ask I was knocked out by the anesthesia..... Place is disgusting

I went there for a epidural. I was the last patient of the day. After the procedure, you normally wait about 20 to thirty minutes before you leave. I noticed everything was cleaned up. The nurse gave me something to drink and then said I could get dressed, which was about ten minutes. My wife came in and saw me getting dressed and was surprised. In other words they rushed me out of there. Bad practice.
Don't go there.

They charge an exorbitant amount for minor surgery. If you have pre-approval and your insurance company decides later that they will not pay for your surgery (which is what happened to me), you will be on the hook for almost eight times the amount you would pay at a normal hospital. This is not a joke. For the surgery I had, it is about $6,000 out of pocket at a hospital, this place billed me for more than $50,000, and that does not include the fees for the doctors, who will bill you separately. My insurance told me they were paying before I went in, so this isn't something I was worried about to begin with. They make you sign a contract that you will pay if your insurance opts not to. But they do not give you a cost estimate before they make you sign, so you have no idea that your surgery, however minor, will be marked up that much. Go to a real hospital. If you decide you need to go here, demand to see the prices BEFORE you sign anything. Do not trust these people.

Over the years I've had several procedures done here with several different surgeons. I've each time found everyone to be very professional and very helpful. My surgeons were great.. but I knew that before going there.
